So I was about to post an item on biddingpond until I notices a posting fee.
BiddingPond is free to list. They charge for uploading images to their server and for featuring/bolding/etc. And last I knew, every account got their first 5 BTC of listing fees free.

It needs to be free, like craigslist or kijiji.

Ha! What are the odds of finding $100 worth of data on those drives? Hopefully better than the odds (0%) of recovering 2 grams of gold out of the box. Sorry, off topic, but I had to chuckle.
For what it's worth, I'd love to see ebay offer BTC as an optional currency for sellers to specify.
Ebay is an auction site. PayPal is one of the payment methods for sending payment. Bitcoin is another.
It is happening.

In addition to seeing Bitcoin appear in more listings and profiles, I expect to see ClearCoin start appearing as an escrow method. Combining bitcoins for payment and ClearCoin for escrow is a combination that has so going for it. There's almost no other alternative for affordable escrow for $100 or less purchases. Add in the #bitcoin-otc gpg Web of Trust and there no reason these tools can't be used by a wider user base.
There's already Bidding Pond, and I believe another auction site I can't recall.
Bitbid, and a few others, but biddingpond seems to have the most actvity.

You know how ebay owns payapl and ebay came first.
Bitcoin needs its own "ebay"
